McMann enters the bout on a three-fight winning streak after defeating Gina Mazany, Alexis Davis and Jessica Eye in succession. The Olympic silver medalist in freestyle wrestling challenged for the 135-pound crown in her second Octagon appearance, losing to then champion Ronda Rousey via TKO in just 66 seconds at UFC 170. McMann is 5-3 in the Las Vegas-based promotion, with her other two defeats coming against ex-titlist Miesha Tate and reigning bantamweight queen Amanda Nunes.
Vieira, meanwhile, is 8-0 since beginning her professional career in 2014. The 25-year-old Brazilian debuted in the Octagon with a split decision over Kelly Faszholz at UFC Fight Night 96 before taking a unanimous verdict against Ashlee Evans-Smith at UFC on Fox 24 on April 15.
